I’m clearly not the only one worried that TTV is releasing extremely detailed written previews for Drunken to Love You. Some folks wonder if this will affect the ratings, which I think highly unlikely. Anyone desperate enough to scrounge for a written preview will probably watch the episode. My worry is how knowing so much of what will happen will ruin watching it being acted out. For me, episode 2 was even better after knowing what would happen, because I could focus on the scenes and the increasingly wonderful acting all around from the cast.
Written preview for episode 3 of DTLY:
Jie Xiu takes off all his clothes in the bathroom and prepares to take a shower. He discovers Xiao Ru, who cleaned the bathroom all night as a way to vent her frustration, exhausted and sleeping in the tub. Jie Xiu’s “open hello” leaves Xiao Ru angry with embarrassment, and the two of them unpleasantly part ways.
Xiao Ru tells Meng Jun that she intends to go to places she used to go on dates with Yi Xian, to try to forget him and heal her sorrows. Jie Xiu rushes to his proposal meeting, and his proposal is widely approved by a very exacting CEO, who looks forward to working with Jie Xiu a second time. He pressures Jie Xiu to have a model house ready in three days, in time for the celebration cocktail party. Jie Xiu confidently assures him that he will have a satisfactory model house ready.
Xiao Ru arrives at the coffee shop where she went on dates with Yi Xian. She becomes dispirited and leaves. Jie Xiu is overseeing the construction progress, and he loses his temper with the workers over mistakes. He’s arguing with the workers, who are not happy with Jie Xiu, when Meng Jun calls him. Meng Jun tells Jie Xiu that Xiao Ru’s cleaning the bathroom all night is just her way of relieving her frustration, and right now Xiao Ru must be under a lot of stress. She asks Jie Xiu to please look after Xiao Ru.
Jie Xiu goes to find Xiao Ru, and finally locates her by the beach. He silently follows her. At the jetty, Xiao Ru jumps down to pick up her dropped cell phone, but Jie Xiu mistakenly thinks that she is committing suicide, and he jumps into the ocean to save her. Jumping in without any preparation, Jie Xiu gets a cramp and needs to be rescued by the lifeguard.
Jie Xiu is angry at his own mistaken assumption, but is surprised when Xiao Ru sincerely thanks him. The two of them play a game of beach ball with the kids on the beach. These two, who are really kids at heart, find themselves having physical contact in the most ordinary of ways, but the attraction starts to blossom between them……until a call from Meng Jung breaks up the moment. Meng Jun informs Xiao Ru that she discovered Peggy and Yi Xian have checked into the hotel.
Xiao Ru rushes back to the hotel, intending to get Yi Xian alone so she can talk with him. Meng Jun helps and locks Peggy up inside the bathroom. As Yi Xian and Xiao Ru’s conversation gets to the most critical moment, Peggy escapes and brings a manager to complain about Meng Jun and Xiao Ru. Yi Xian, rather than speak out on behalf of Xiao Ru, instead says that Xiao Ru’s behavior really ruined his meal with his girlfriend. Xiao Ru is stunned and hurt.
Back in their room, Yi Xian tells Peggy that what he did back there was because he loves Xiao Ru too much. He no longer deserves Xiao Ru to care about him, so he would rather that she hate him for the rest of her life. He warns Peggy not to covet what does not belong to her.
Heartbroken Xiao Ru is at Jie Xiu’s house stuffing her face with food to vent, and Jie Xiu, who hates to see such a mess, yells at her. The two of them fight over a pizza box, and end up rolling together. Avril arrives to see this moment. Afterwards, Avril discovers the wild boar picture Jie Xiu drew for Xiao Ru to encourage her, which leads to her starting to feel uncertain. Avril uses not-so-subtle hints to tell Xiao Ru that Jie Xiu belongs to her. After Avril leaves, Xiao Ru nods off on the couch as she’s watching TV, ending up sleeping on Jie Xiu’s shoulder.
My Thoughts:
This drama is DA BOMB. The end. Oh, and Yi Xian is a dickwad. Good luck, drama, if you try to shove a good reason for his miserable behavior down my throat later on. I’m on the good ship Xiao Ru-Jie Xiu, and it’s set sailed.
When all eyes are on you then you either vault over the pressure or crumble.…

I wish the previews were not that long, but I dislike waiting for Sundays.
I still enjoy reading the previews and watching the episodes though.
I love Joseph and Rainie. They are a cute couple <3
I don't think anything could ruin episode 3 for me
'cause the chemistry between XR-JX is too good
for a letdown. Looking forward to Sunday night!
Agree! In fact reading the preview only makes me the more looking forward to Sunday's episode since it's all about the chemistry between Xiao Ru and Jie Xiu, which can't be replicated in words!
OMG! So looking forward to this drama. Koala, thank you so much. I love the fact that you mix Taiwanese and Korean dramas together! The best blog ever!
I have no problem with long preview it makes me excited more.each ep brings new concept.its like their past just a shadow and focus on xio ru and Jie xu love development.great job.
I normally don't read written previews, I merely clicked because it's DRUNKEN TO LOVE YOU.
Off topic:
So obsessed me has been looking up and down for Joseph Chang videos the past few days, and I realized after watching several vids and interviews of this guy, he's SO SO SHY! In contrary to his characters on screen (that I've seen the past few days, yes, I'm so freaking obsessed), which were mostly playful-ish and outgoing etc, he's just so quiet and reserved. And I'm like WOW, this man hides everything inside huh?
Hehehe...welcome to the Joseph Chang fanclub!!! Am so glad that with this show he gets more interest. Have you watch The Legend Of Speed? Also starred Rainie Yang (if you see that, wow you'll know how much her acting has improved) but unfortunately he wasn't the main (more like the opposite, the "evil" ex). But damn, being a bad boy only adds to his appeal further XD
Now I need Wallace Huo to do rom com to complete my wishlist. That guy needs more mainstream appeal...
Nope, Drunken To Love You's my first watch of him. I did check out Eternal Summer just for him, and I thought he was really good in it. Am surprised he didn't get more known or recognized after that..
And I agree that Joseph and Rainie's chemistry kind tops everything in here. Just look at how comfortable and at ease they are with each other. And nope, that surely didn't happen to me when I watched like several dramas with the hottie Mike He and Rainie together. No matter how good they looked together..
Joseph is making an indelible impression on me, the kind that will likely sustain my goodwill for him for all of eternity, kinda like what Joe did to me after ISWAK.
Damn, why is it not Sunday yet?
ISWAK! Ariel Lin is forever in my good books because of that one. Joe too. Great chemistry, those two *glazed faraway look*
@ripgal: Ooh sorry I made a mistake, in that show Rainie's ex wasn't him (it was Duncan -_-"), but all the same I remember him having a bad boy vibe :D
His love interest was the supporting actress I liked very much (I was shipping for them too). But was devastated when my cuz said she took drugs in real life!! (no wonder no leading roles for her).
I just realized that Sonia Sui was in there too! I guess they are all major stars now:)
I'm trying to digest this, but it seems no matter how I try the laughter won't come. ever watched a funny drama but tears just keep falling, and you can't seem to accept the idea cause you've always been a happy bloke....sometimes happy people cry.... :-( the odd thing your crying but your still smiling shoot is a bad habit.... yup reality bites and it has to do me good.... no fantasy for me today!!!! :-(
I thank you for your recaps for DTLY. I happend on this drama by chance and started watching it. I agree with your comments and insights. This drama is too funny. The scenes with the OTP are serious and yet comical at the same time. I laugh as much as I am sad at the happenings to them. Really selfishness on Avril's part and YX, only interested in looking out for their own interests. Can't wait to see them get there just desserts. The affection with which the OTP treat each other already is fun to watch.
Thanks Ockoala.
I am another watching Joseph Chang for the first time and much liking what I see.
The dude's not leading man gorgeous, but he exudes this really down to earth charisma and air which is really appealing..
Like the men you see and might know in real life. And he comes across as quite naturally *quiet*-strength solid, and that's always attractive to me - when it's not so 'in your face'.
Not so consciously aware of how 'good looking' or how 'charming or cool' he should be projecting. Quite different from the eye candy Gods.
Rainie has toned down quite a bit too in this drama. Her acting has mellowed, and she's riding her role a lot better than in other dramas I have seen of her.
why is not Sunday yet , and I see me watching this raw again , just hope i am not going to a friends house for dinner and have to sit and watch the drama raw and have everyone look at me like i am crazy
i am learning Chinese and Taiwanese by watch dramas why did we not have dramas in hs so i could ha ve learn french
I am drunken on tdrama crack
have not watched a tdrama in a long time (okay i lie, recently i caught a little of mike and janine and had to marathon the series). was attracted to this one bc it's joseph! haha, that and they have awesome chemistry. it's such a pain having to wait one week for a new episode, and having to tudou the episode. this gives me the same feel as fated to love you, only i much prefer joseph as my male lead. do you think peggy is pregnant or something? curious to know what kingone's story is.
i was glad to find this entry here :) also, pretty happy there's lots of interesting things on here, such as yamapi being a dork~, janine/mike entries... looking forward to may's kdramas! will be back to read the commentary.
